Why did you modify the door? I did mine and didn't need to touch the door at all..

If you ever need tyres fitting by someone that takes car with what they do give me a shout, I'm only in Swilly, but work is based Knearsborough two lol,


I used metro conectors instead o r200 ones

Did you buy these new?
As far as I'm informed these are 5dr ones, and you can still get 3dr ones new for pennies, so if you get a new set of 3dr ones, dibs on these please as I can't find any anywhere! lol

Location: Bromley, Kent		Everything you do on this car is really factory looking. I was researching into a Rover stereo and the cd changer. Lots of info and photos on this please. Looks cool in ashtray!

Location: Gloucester		its not too much effort to fit the rover steering wheel remote which works with that radio. The remote unscrews from the steering wheel and you can cut a slot in yours to fit it. Make sure your steering wheel has the holes for the screws first though. I've not seen a steering wheel which hasn't yet.

Location: gods country		thank you i have loads of after market stereos in my car and when my dad the mgf he had a cd changer it was the r960 with built in display and tape deck it looked ok but wasnt what i was after so i opted for the r860 with stand alone display

while i was at the scrap yard i saw a rover 400 with tweeters built in to the inside wing mirror blanks



i already have some in me door cards it just got me thinking so might go back next weekend and get them if there still there

i think i have figured out how to mount the display on my dash too soo will post couple of pics up whilst im doing that

Location: gods country		i got me iso lead through the post the other day i tried the cd changer and it was broke...so i took it apart and found the the cd tray had been ramed in and had got stuck under the laser too so i dismantled it a lil more till i could free both of them, then i put it all back togeather and set about the tray, the screw lug had snapped so i couldnt rescrew it so i held it togeather heated up a srewdriver and plastic welded it .

seems to have worked too ihave also fitted a steering wheel remote

2 moro gunna set about that subframe i bought a couple of months ago clean it up and cut off the excess bits then get it to paint

had my brotherinlaw make me up the front bump stops after he did the rear ones last year















here is where im gunna put the digital display



and my new front bumpstops

Location: Bromley, Kent		That is the edge round the dials cut off to make the radio display pod. I like it, and it will match so will look good. Once again- top work! : D

Location: gods country		i spent most of today doin the display and after 4 hour gave up on the idea of the dash suround covering it so i cut the hole out and placed it in there with a metal holding divice to keep it in place then 2 moro i think in guna have a crack at it again but using the old tape holder as this is a lot thinner













this after i set about the subframe and got the excess metal cut off

Location: Up in the lakes		what hydragas units are they ending in '010'? nice work going new on everything. like the idea of the r400 tweeter location. may have to keep my eye open for them. had comps in my old tro and the biggest ballache was positioning the tweeters where they were effective and looked smart. opted for coaxs for ease now.

love the way you keep your car looking oe.
